But wasn't it nice of MSNBC to provide a platform to Tony Perkins when ABC decided not to have him on? After all, how could the country possibly know about Perkins' hateful religion-cloaked bigotry if he didn't get a nice featured spot? Sure the news programs would like to cover issues like affordable housing, living wages, and better schools, but there was a massacre in Orlando, and who better than Tony Perkins to explain it all to us?
